How to - Delete and Hide items and the differences

There are three ways to manually “remove” an item.

2) Delete – from Items->Manage Items -> Import/export check the item you want to delete on the table/grid and then click the X button

3) Hide – from Catalog just click the Hide icon which exists on each catalog item (in the bottom-right corner): How To Hide Items

To restore an item manually you should use the relevant recycle bin (in Manage Catalog for hide, and in Manage Items for delete).

To restore Hidden items in bulk:

Add a column to your items excel file titled "Hidden" . Give the values of 0 (the number zero) to all the items that are currently hidden that you wish to unhide, the remaining items value can remain blank or set to 0 (the number zero) because the default value is zero.

Map the column to the field "HideInCatalog" and upload this file (the remaining columns will not need to be re-mapped as they are already selected in blue from previous mapping).

The "un-hidden" items will reappear in the catalog.

What are the differences between Delete and Hide?

Delete

Hide

After deletion the item is listed only in “Manage Items” recycle bin

After hiding the item exists only in the catalog recycle bin

Item is removed from all places (reports, dashboards, etc..)

Item is hidden only from the catalog

Restore can be done by uploading another file that contains the same item

Restore can be done manually or by un-hiding the item via the HideInCatalog items file upload

File uploading cannot delete items

You can control the “hide” with file uploading – there is a field that maps this property "Hide in Catalog"

If a rep did not sync after deletion of an item and will place an order – this item will fail

If a rep did not sync after an item is hidden and will place an order – this item will succeed

In both cases – after syncing the item will be removed from the user's Pepperi view.

NOTE: deleting a Main category also causes the items in this category to be removed.
